Some of my reasons to vote NO on Home Rule
by Sedona Resident Dana H. Varney

  • Sedona city government is not nonpartisan. It is under Democratic Party control.
  • The Sedona City government spends millions of dollars in government waste.
  • Home rule is a money grab.
  • There are no controls on the city.
  • Health, welfare, and safety don’t matter to the city.
  • City lies, no trust in the government.
  • People have no say in government spending.
  • Discrimination on residents and other party affiliations that are not democrats.
  • City makes huge financial mistakes without accountability.
  • City calls residents nimby cows as well as other names.
  • Rampant corporate welfare, Chamber, Library, and other groups.
  • City uses a grant program to control voting.
  • Corruption.
  • Can’t follow all the money, slush fund.
  • City shows disdain for the people.
  • Years and years of Home Rule. How’s it working for you?
  • City does everything in a panic, crisis mode.
  • Made up housing crisis.
  • City rams’ projects down the people’s throat. Parking garage travesty. Ugly uptown.
  • Roundabouts. Traffic flowed better with traffic lights at the Y.
  • Schnebly hill should be paved.
  • Traffic, Traffic, Traffic.
  • Population decreasing. Chasing the people out.
  • Over taxation. City could decrease taxes without the Home Rule.
  • Paving over Sedona. Too much concrete.
  • City polls are manipulated to get the answers the city wants.
  • Change crossing guards to traffic lights.
  • Big Government small town.
  • City picks and chooses who they let be involved in city work groups.
  • City picks and chooses who to go after based on whether you support their agendas.
  • Overblown budget. Greed.
  • City has doubled the number of employees. 45 city employees make over $100,000 While working people struggle to make a living. Police department is growing and growing.
  • Two city council members sit on the board of the Democrats of the Red Rocks. Huge conflict of interest.
  • City sued the residents over the cultural park.
  • City chooses who to give service contracts to without getting competitive bids.
  • City had all the residents’ water bills go up significantly through their ineptness.
  • The City Council has important votes when most people leave town.
  • A NO on Home Rule would force a city reboot.
  • Even though the residents that think they do better because of Home Rule would do much better with a well-run city with residents’ involvement. The people need to take back their power.
